Thank you to everyone who participated in this giveaway! We had some
really fun comments and everyone seemed really inspired by all of the sock love thanks to Cookie A’s wonderful designs.
Unfortunately, we were only able to pick three winners. To select our
winners, we used a random number generator that chose our winners based on the number of their comment.
Our winners!

Socks are wonderful for so many reasons. They are small and portable,
they are an excuse to try out new techniques and you get to use crazy
colors that you wouldn’t normally pick out for your knitting! If you are
a sock knitter, I am sure you are well aware of sock designer
extraordinaire Cookie A. In honor of our love for socks and Valentine’s
Day, we are giving away 3 copies of Knit. Sock. Love.
Cookie A. has once again filled another sock book to the brim with
interesting textures, shapes and designs – all of which are set against
gorgeous photography that is bright, playful and just plain fun.
Right
away, my eye was drawn to the section of the book devoted to the
diagonals. I just love how these lines seemingly go against and cut
right through the vertical sensibility of socks. At first glance, the
diagonal bands that meander over and across the socks may leave you with
a feeling of “how’d they do that?” but these are the kinds of questions
and design elements that are explored in Knit. Sock. Love.

Why is this Dangerous? Because if you win this book you will be overloaded with cuteness!
If you are a regular reader of the blog, you know that I love Rebecca Danger's creatures (and anyone who sees my desk can confrim it). So I am so excited for her book, The Big Book Of Knitted Monsters - it's full of 20 awesome monster pattterns!

Thank you to everyone who participated in this giveaway! We had some

Thank you to everyone who participated in this giveaway! We got some
really great comments and it was fun reading what all of you would do
with the book and yarn if you won. Sadly, we were only able to pick two
people. To select our winners, we used a random number generator that chose our winners based on the number of their comment.
Our winners:
#9 - Jessica B.
Yay! Love this, because I was just eyeballing that Chroma in the catalog :) I would definitely make a cowl. Oh, how pretty!
#1747 - Ann S.
Definitely going to do a striped scarf! Also thinking about the
Jindabyne a-Line sweater from Swing Swagger Drape by Jane Slicer-Smith.
Ooh, ooh, choose me!
We have emailed Jessica and Ann this morning and once they let us
know which color and weight of Chroma they would like, we will be
shipping out their prizes. Thanks again everyone, as always, we love to
hear your feedback!
